Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in humbled understanding:

“In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God…should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.”
(Hebrews 2:10)

That’s not how I was hoping to be perfected, Jesus!

When You walked this earth as a man
I’m sure You felt the same way.

I was kind of hoping I would be perfected through blessings

You know…victory after victory
miracle after miracle.

But if You, though sinless, could only be perfected through suffering…

wow.

There’s no escaping it, is there?

I’ve got to suffer.

I don’t like it any better than You did.

But it sure explains what’s going on.
